June 23, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Is your dining budget feeling challenged this summer? Sonic’s  $1.99 menu gives you lots of affordable dining options.  It  feature its Queso Wraps in both Bacon Ranch and Southwest Crunch flavors, French Toast Sticks, Groovy Fries, and floats made with Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, Barq’s Root Beer, or Fanta. Sonic also added the  Jr. Chicken Sandwiches in both Original and Honey Chipotle flavors for just $1.99. It’s also good to know that many area Sonic’s serve from 8am – midnight. So

In addition to the refreshed $1.99 menu, Sonic has also changed some of its sauces—and added two new ones.

Sonic is changing its Ranch, Honey Mustard, and BBQ Sauce to make them more flavorful and bolder, as well as adding two new sauces to menus: Jalapeño Ranch and Asian-Style Sweet Chili

The Jalapeño Ranch is a creamy ranch sauce with herbs and a hint of spicy green jalapeño, while the Asian-Style Sweet Chili is a sweet-and-spicy sauce made with soy, sesame, garlic, and ginger.

Sonic $1.99 Menu Is Here

July 10, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Sonic announced its own value menu, this time dropping prices way below anyone else, with its $1.99 Menu, which includes the new Sonic Queso Wraps that are now available nationwide.

“Now more than ever, consumers are focused on affordable food options, but they shouldn’t have to settle for the same old, tired discounts or boring meals. Many restaurant brands are touting value meals and discounts, and you see a lot of recycled ideas with limited options. At Sonic, we wanted to do something different — something fun — so we focused on variety, which is why we’re introducing the new $1.99 Menu, or what we like to call the FUN.99 Menu,” Ryan Dickerson, the chief marketing officer of Sonic, shared in a statement. “The FUN.99 Menu is all about choice and fun, whether you want any  of our dozen shake flavors, a chili cheese coney, or our iconic tots as a midday snack — it’s all there for just $1.99.”

As for those Queso Wraps, guests can get them in two varieties: the Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, which comes with white meat, bacon, cheddar cheese, ranch, and white queso in a flour tortilla, and the Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap, made with that same white meat topped with Southwest sauce, tortilla strips, cheddar cheese, and white queso in a flour tortilla.

But that’s not all. Sonic is also offering a mix of snacks, desserts, and entrée items on its $1.99 menu, including a Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger, Chili Cheese Coney, Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap, Small Tots, and any of the 12 flavors of Sonic Shakes in a 16-ounce size, including Strawberry, Chocolate and Oreo Cheesecake.

Fans can also get another deal using the Sonic App. There, they can snag half-price drinks and slushies any time they order through the app and half-price Sonic Cheeseburgers on Tuesday nights

Meanwhile, the “Fun.99 Menu” will be “here to stay” at Sonic’s over 3,500 restaurants “all day, every day,” the Inspire Brands-owned Sonic said.

Pucker up! Sonic’s Pickle Juice Slush debutsMonday!

June 10, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

Sonic’s news Pickle Juice Slush will hit drive-thru’s at all of its U.S. locations starting Monday, June 11th.

The pickle-flavored slushies will be joined by three other  classic snow cone flavors including Bahama Mama, Blue Hawaiian, Tiger’s Blood for a limited summer release.  SONIC’s icy-cold and colorful Snow Cone Slushes will give guests the ultimate taste of summer in a sippable, slurpable delight

When these menu additions were announced, Food & Wine was granted the opportunity to test the pickle-infused frozen drinks back in March. The outlet reported it tested the drink at Sonic’s headquarters in Oklahoma City.

” …  it’s surprisingly delicious (and makes a good accompaniment to burgers and/or tots and/or corn dogs.),” Food & Wine said in its review.

“Sweet and tangy, the bright brine compensates for the over-savoriness you might have been worried about. You won’t understand why, but you’ll keep going back for more sips, likely until it’s all gone,” wrote Food and Wine magazine’s Maria Yagoda, who added that she found the drink a tad too sugary for her liking.

To celebrate the Pickle Juice and other Snow Cone Slushes, SONIC is releasing a Snapchat lens that transforms users into an icy-cold Pickle Juice Slush world for a limited time from June 11 through July 29.

The only-at-SONIC Pickle Juice Slush, along with the rest of the Snow Cone Slush flavors, can be enjoyed starting June 11 for half-price during happy hour and are customizable with any fruit add-ins such as lemon, strawberry, lime and pineapple or candy add-ins such as Popping Candy and NERDS® while supplies last.
